Explanation of Solution
Given Information: The sawtooth wave given in the following figure,
Formula used:
Consider f(t) is a periodic function with period T defined in the interval 0≤x≤T
then the Fourier series expansion of the function,
f(t)=a0+∞∑k=1[akcos(kω0t)+bksin(kω0t)] with ω0=2πT.
And the coefficients are defined by,
a0=1TT∫0f(t)dt ; ak=2TT∫0f(t)cos(kω0t)dt ; bk=2TT∫0f(t)sin(kω0t)dt
Alternatively, the Fourier series can also be written as, f(t)=a0+∞∑k=1[ckcos(kω0t−ϕk)]
Here, the amplitude ck and phase ϕk for each term is defined as,
c2k=√a2k+b2k,ϕk=tan−1(bkak)
Plot ck and ϕk in the frequency domain to plot the amplitude and phase line spectra.
Graph:
Consider the sawtooth wave given in the following figure,
Therefore, the sawtooth wave is a periodic function f(t) with period T in the interval 0≤t≤T and from the graph,
f(t) is a straight line joining the points (0,0) and (T2,−1) in 0≤t≤T2.
f(t) is a straight line joining the points (T2,1) and (T,0) in T2≤t≤T.
Therefore, the sawtooth wave,
f(t)={−2Tt0≤t≤T22−2TtT2≤t≤T
Therefore, the Fourier series expansion of this function is,
f(t)=a0+∞∑k=1[akcos(kω0t)+bksin(kω0t)];ω0=2πT
In the above expression, the coefficients are defined by,
Now, find ak.
ak=2TT∫0f(t)cos(2kπTt)dt=2TT2∫0(−2Tt)cos(2kπTt)dt+2TT∫T2(2−2Tt)cos(2kπTt)dt=−4T2T2∫0tcos(2kπTt)dt+4TT∫T2cos(2kπTt)dt−4T2T∫T2tcos(2kπTt)dt
Consider,
I=∫tcos(2kπTt)dt=t∫cos(2kπTt)dt−∫{ddt(t)∫cos(2kπTt)dt}dt=tT2kπsin(2kπTt)−∫T2kπsin(2kπTt)dt=Tt2kπsin(2kπTt)+T24k2π2cos(2kπTt)
Hence,
T2∫0tcos(2kπTt)dt=[Tt2kπsin(2kπTt)+T24k2π2cos(2kπTt)]T20=T2kπT2sin(2kπTT2)+T24k2π2cos(2kπTT2)−T24k2π2cos(0)=T24kπsin(kπ)+T24k2π2cos(kπ)−T24k2π2=T24k2π2(−1)k−T24k2π2
Further,
T∫T2cos(2kπTt)dt=T2kπsin(2kπTt)|TT2=T2kπ{sin(2kπ)−sin(kπ)}=0
T∫T2tcos(2kπTt)dt=[Tt2kπsin(2kπTt)+T24k2π2cos(2kπTt)]TT2=T22kπsin(2kπ)+T24k2π2cos(2kπ)−T24kπsin(kπ)−T24k2π2cos(kπ)=T24k2π2−T24k2π2(−1)k
Therefore,
ak=−4T2[T24k2π2(−1)k−T24k2π2]+4T×0−4T2[T24k2π2−T24k2π2(−1)k]=−1k2π2(−1)k+1k2π2−1k2π2+1k2π2(−1)k=0
Now, find bk.
bk=2TT∫0f(t)sin(2kπTt)dt=2TT2∫0(−2Tt)sin(2kπTt)dt+2TT∫T2(2−2Tt)sin(2kπTt)dt=−4T2T2∫0tsin(2kπTt)dt+4TT∫T2sin(2kπTt)dt−4T2T∫T2tsin(2kπTt)dt
Consider,
I=∫tsin(2kπTt)dt=t∫sin(2kπTt)dt−∫{ddt(t)∫sin(2kπTt)dt}dt=−tT2kπcos(2kπTt)+∫T2kπcos(2kπTt)dt=−Tt2kπcos(2kπTt)+T24k2π2sin(2kπTt)
Hence,
T2∫0tsin(2kπTt)dt=[−Tt2kπcos(2kπTt)+T24k2π2sin(2kπTt)]T20=−T24kπcos(kπ)+T24k2π2sin(kπ)=−T24kπ(−1)k
T∫T2sin(2kπTt)dt=−T2kπcos(2kπTt)|TT2=−T2kπcos(2kπ)+T2kπcos(kπ)=−T2kπ+T2kπ(−1)k
Further,
T∫T2tsin(2kπTt)dt=[−Tt2kπcos(2kπTt)+T24k2π2sin(2kπTt)]TT2=−T22kπcos(2kπ)+T24k2π2sin(2kπ)+T24kπcos(kπ)−T24k2π2sin(kπ)=−T22kπ+T24kπ(−1)k
Thus,
bk=−4T2[−T24kπ(−1)k]+4T[−T2kπ+T2kπ(−1)k]−4T2[−T22kπ+T24kπ(−1)k]=1kπ(−1)k−2kπ+2kπ(−1)k+2kπ−1kπ(−1)k=2kπ(−1)k
Hence, the coefficients of the Fourier series expansions are,
a0=0,ak=0,bk=2kπ(−1)k
That is,
bk={2kπ>0k even−2kπ<0k odd
Consider,
ck=√a2k+b2k=√0+4k2π2(−1)2k=√4k2π2=2kπ
Thus, the amplitude of the kth term is 2kπ, that is, the amplitudes for k=1,2,3,4,5,... are,
2π,1π,23π,12π,25π,...
Furthermore, consider,
ϕk=tan−1(bkak)
As ak=0 and bk>0 for even k thus,
ϕk=π2
As ak=0 and bk<0 for odd k thus,
ϕk=−π2
Therefore,
ϕk={π2k even−π2k odd
Thus, the phases corresponding to k=1,2,3,4,5,... are −π2,π2,−π2,π2,−π2,...
